a better life. Steinbeck portrays the prime example of a person from the Dust Bowl era. Steinbeck also gives the prime radical of Tom Joad, the "angel" that leads the family on in hard times and the one who tries to keep the family together as well. In the entire book the whole family is "sure glad Tom's here" (Steinbeck 166). The Joad family constantly is looked down upon and are called "Okies"; it is ironic that the reader does not see any other Okie family and this is primarily because Tom and Ma. Basically, Ma tries to keep most of the family members on line, but really who pulls them through is young Tom Joad. Even at the harshest times Tom is able to convince the remaining family members and move on, he the model example of "a fine gentleman" (Steinbeck 167). The radical family members can be identified as not being the American archetype of oppression and endurance, survival if not salvation (Owens 1). Through their long journey, the Joads have encountered hardships, by losing family members as of them. Owens is absolutely correctdue to the fact that even with emotional baggage the Joads have made it a long way, but Steinbeck doesnot portray a perfect family but he is more realistic in the fact that the family does die down and is left with almost half the family members than it had before. Throughout the novel the pessimistic views of everyone around the Joads as a catalyst to the family's digression, this catalyst helps the reader realize the true nature of each character. "There ain't room enough for you an' me, for your kind an' my kind, for rich and poor together all in one country." (Steinbeck, 144). As soon as people start facing obstacles that makes their lives harder, Steinbeck views the hospitality as extinct and a sense of competition born. This factionalism not only divides men from their brothers, it also divides men from the land. Steinbeck spots the lack of a peaceful as the central cause of the tenant farmers' dislocation from their original location. The corporate farmers who replace the old families possess the same acquisitive mind-set as their employers. Interested only in getting their work done quickly and leaving with a hicheck, they treat the land with hostility, as an affliction rather than a home, and put heavy machinery between themselves and the fields. The men who have failed to make a living in California, for example, show little interest in joining forces with the family. "I have nuthin' more reason to be here, my wicked boss makes me jealous with his shiny white yacht" (Steinbeck 344). Steinbeck uses a mere auto part dealer to show the half of the country's state. Drained of hope for a luxurious life like his boss, this man mocks the Joads' optimism. This unfriendliness makes it increasingly difficult for the Joads to honor bonds other than those of kinship. "But in a novel that so beautifully portrays society as a system of interrelated forces, there is more to the matter than what has just been described. If economic determinism breeds biological determinism, biological determinism in turn spawns an inevitable social conflict that in time becomesa historically determined sequence of eventswith predictable outcome." (Condor 2). With this quote, Condor emphasizes the point that it is an obvious outcome when one's luxuries are taken away from him. Steinbeck really likes to fool around with the audience's emotions and creates pathos with the family's downfalls and rises. The Joads get to a point where life may actually be .
